About this time of the year, the cow outfits are busy with spring roundups. We just finished working a lot of country and gathered a lot of mixed stuff into a big herd. The boss has decided to sell all of his yearling heifers, so we're going to cut 'em into another herd. When the old man steps on top of his cutting horse for this job of sorting and they start bringing out the heifers one at a time, we begin to see some action.
They get one out a little past the edge of the herd when she decides that she doesn't like the idea and makes a break to come back. Man, when the dust clears, she's found out she can't out-dodge the horse, so she heads for the other bunch of yearling heifers, which have already been cut out.
While this work's going on, I get to thinking about how hard it is to sit one of these cutting ponies when he really has to get busy. Now, as you know, a cutting horse is just about the fastest-handling, hardest-to-ride working pony in the world. The ability to not only stay with him, but to ride him right, is the ambition of every cutting-horse man.
I've been to a lot of shows where the top cutting horses contest, and seen most of the best men "fit a ride" to them. One of these men sure stands out as the best on my books, and his name is Milt Bennett. Mister, when you've seen him ride Trusty, Woody, Cricket, DuDu, Red Boy or any of the other top horses he's trained, you've seen tops in cuttin' ridin'.
Milt rides like he's part of the horse. He doesn't flop around and have to go to his saddle horn to stay on. When the horse moves, Milt leans into the direction which keeps him in coordination with its actions. This is called balanced riding.
There's more to it, though, than just leaning, for a man has to have something else, leg grip. He needs this leg grip to help steady his balance. Milt's legs are just the right length to get a grip from his knees down through the calves of his legs on the outside outline of the horse's sides. Using this grip only when he needs it, he's able to really get with a horse's actions.
Another thing is the way that he sits in a saddle. Milt is a straight-up rider, the kind your Granddaddy used to talk about. Milt doesn't slump on his rump and look like he learned to ride on a cultivator seat. This slumping causes the rider to ride behind his horse instead of being up in balance. Milt's with his horses all of the time, which helps them to get a top job of cuttin' done!
For comparison, I drew three other pictures of a man trying to ride and train a cuttin' horse. This rider might get with his horse now and then, but he doesn't have the leg grip needed to ride right. He interferes with the workings of his horse, and you can see that he was too busy just trying to stay on to get a top job of training done. This boy stays on by hanging on the horse's mouth, by all of his weight on the stirrups, and by his hand-hold on the saddle horn. Most of the time he's out of balance, both in front and in back of his horse's movements, about a half jump behind and having to ride like the devil to catch up. He never seems to get with the horse, nor does he give the appearance of being part of the horse.
To me, riding is like dancing. The rider leads and the horse should follow. But, in cuttin' it's the horse that has to do the leading, because he's watching the cow to block her every move back toward the herd. The faster and harder she tries, the harder the horse has to work. He can't do much of a job if his rider's flopping around throwing him off balance. Kinda like trying to lead someone on the dance floor who's always getting out of step.
Very few riders are able to train their horses to always do just right, and so they continually have to help the pony by reining. The horse is never sure of himself, which makes him unsteady. He loses his smoothness, his ability to always be at the right place at the right time, and is, consequently, harder to ride.
It is true that once in a while a rider has to touch a horse with a rein or spur to help him keep out of a storm and, again, I go back to dancing. I didn't mind a girl reining me a little when I got to running backwards and couldn't see that we were going to have a wreck. She helped me by keeping me out of a storm. I figure it's the same way with a well-trained horse. . . he might need a little help once in a while, 'cause horses are like humans, we all make mistakes.
Milt Bennett has that little bit of something extra when it comes to training a horse to do just the right thing at the right time. His horses know their business, and he makes it easier for 'em by always riding right. If the horse has to jump forward, Milt leans forward to ride the horse's driving power. When stopping, Milt's upper body goes to the rear because the drive is coming toward the rear. Milt, of course, follows the actions of the critter that is in front of his horse, and he always knows just where the pony is going next. His leg grip helps to steady his balance, which helps him to always do a top job of cuttin' ridin'!

When searching google I found a great article on NetBIOS. I think it does a good job in explaining the risks that go with it.
Yup thats why NetBIOS is often referred to as Microsofts built in Trojan. Its good for small home networks but make sure you use you firewalls NetBIOS options.
Its not software piracy. Im just making multiple off site backups.
I totally agree
NetBios is a very bad protocal
and will get you into trouble.....
I personally am a firm belever of using
Linksys Routers and non-routable IP addresses
for internal networks.....
Big mistake I see that the NetBoui Protocal is no longer
pushed or spported by MS in XP and you cannot choose which
way to bind file sharing..
I will say XP has improved things over 98/ME
only problem there I see is that the built-in firewall
in XP is that it is not turn on by default.

If you request 3 or 2 bids from different contractors, you run the risk of under projecting the scope of work to which you are entitled. When your contractor knows they are being placed in the situation of bidding, they tend to reduce their scope of work to a minimum in the hopes of lowering their price.

Another method of keeping the scope of work minor is leaving items out of scope intending on going back to your insurance adjuster requesting supplemental scope at a future date.

However, when the work is legitimately overlooked, they accept your supplement. Insurance restoration contractors use a price library for the insurance industry.

Venice: Academy Award-winning actor Nicolas Cage has praised Chinese cinema for being "good".
"I am attracted by Chinese cinema because it is good," Cage said Friday at the Venice Film Festival on the Lido island in Italy.
He added that Chinese cinema has many "great actors such as Liang Chaowei and Zhou Runfa", reports Xinhua.
"I have a great relation with China and I am proud of that," said the actor, who has visited China several times.
"There is a great flow in the conversation that I have with the people there, they are always very warm to me and I am very thankful," he added.
The 49-year-old said that he is "going to be in China in about three weeks to play in a Chinese financed film called `Outcast`". It is an action adventure movie, which will also star Hayden Christensen.
"I am looking forward to starting this, as I have not made a movie with China yet but I was told that the experience is really a good one, and they have fantastic food on the set all day," he said with a smile.
In the Venice Film Festival, Cage is playing a hard-drinker in his latest film, David Gordon Green`s brutal American South drama "Joe", premiering in competition.
For the title role, Cage said that he focused on finding the truth in the performance trying to make the character come to life.
"I read the book, which allowed me to find the character and align myself with the director`s vision," he added.
Cage, who called "Joe", "one of the most memorable" films he has worked on in his over three-decade-old career, also said in a news conference that he has no intention to retire any time soon.

Dangerous ruling risks women's rights
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision Monday in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Store, Inc. was stunning both in its sexist nature and in ignoring long-standing precedent preventing corporations from imposing their religious beliefs and values on employees.
On one side of the decision were the court's five conservative justices - all men appointed by Republican presidents - saying it was OK for Hobby Lobby and another company, Conestoga Wood Specialties, to ignore the federal health law requirement that the insurance policies they provide include free contraception coverage for women. Whether women take advantage of the coverage is, of course, up to them and their doctors.
On the other side of the 5-4 ruling were the three women on the court, joined by Justice Stephen Breyer - collectively representing the liberal wing - who decry in their dissenting opinion the majority's ruling that the religious positions of a few corporate leaders trump the personal freedoms of their female employees.
The two corporations challenged the contraception mandate on the grounds it includes methods that the corporate leaders consider tantamount to abortion because they can prevent embryos from implanting in the womb. Forcing them to include the methods in coverage would make them complicit in the practice, they argued.
The court's decision hinges on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) of 1994 that prevents the government from "taking any action that substantially burdens the exercise of religion unless that action constitutes the least restrictive means of serving a compelling government interest."
In other words, it is a bad and unclear decision based on a bad and unclear law.
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., seemingly recognizing the thin constitutional ice on which he was treading, sought to narrow the scope of the decision.
"The companies in the cases before us are closely held corporations, each owned and controlled by members of a single family," Justice Alito writes, arguing that the ruling should only be viewed in that narrow context.
In her dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg looks through that transparent curtain.
"Although the Court attempts to cabin its language to closely held corporations, its logic extends to corporations of any size, public or private," she writes.
Given the majority's expansive interpretation of the RFRA, why couldn't a Catholic corporate ownership deny any form of birth control coverage based on the church's teaching? Some religious sects oppose vaccines and transfusions, others medications derived from certain animals. Could owners with these beliefs refuse to provide insurance coverage for such treatments, Justice Ginsburg asks.
For that matter, she continues, the conservative majority's reasoning could extend outside of health policy, throwing out laws that prevent corporations from using their own religious standards to discriminate against unmarried people living together, or homosexuals, or those in inter-religious or inter-racial marriages.
Best case, the decision is so narrow that it is only OK for a closely held corporation to impose its beliefs on employees when the topic is the reproductive rights of women. Either way -broad or narrow - the ruling is a terrible one.
In 1982, the high court ruled on the case of an Amish farmer who believed that withholding Social Security taxes from his employees or paying the employer's share of such taxes would violate his faith. The court said he could not use a religious rights' argument to deny his workers participation in Social Security.
"When followers of a particular sect enter into commercial activity as a matter of choice, the limits they accept on their own conduct as a matter of conscience and faith are not to be superimposed � on others in that activity." An employer, that court found, cannot "impose (its) religious faith on the employees."
That is what Hobby Lobby is doing to its female employees. The court should have followed its own precedent.

What is WIC?
WIC is a supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and children. WIC helps to prevent health problems and improve the health status of participants through good nutrition. The WIC Program supplements the diets of qualified participants with nutritious food items by issuing a food "prescription."
Who qualifies for WIC and how do you qualify for WIC?
- Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding (nursing a baby up to one year old), and postpartum (up to 6 months after a pregnancy has ended)
- Infants (a child under one year old)
- Children (from 1 year old up to age 5)
All women, infants, and children must meet income guidelines and medical criteria to qualify for WIC. Contact 1-800-TEL LINK to find the nearest WIC agency.
How can I find a WIC Agency close to me?
One of the easiest ways to find a WIC Agency in your area is to call 1-800-TEL-LINK (1-800-835-5465). Many WIC programs are in the local health department, so you may also contact your local health department at the number listed for them in the telephone book. Or you can use or interactive Missouri map to find services near you.
What food can I get from WIC?
WIC food prescriptions are based on the type of participant (woman, infant, or child). Nutritionists tailor the food prescription for each individual.
- Infants who are not breastfed receive infant formula. Infants also receive cereal and juice at the appropriate age.
- Women and children get milk, cheese, eggs, cereal high in iron and low in sugar, fruit juice high in Vitamin C, and peanut butter or dried peas or beans.
- Women who are breastfeeding their babies and not receiving infant formula from the WIC program also get tuna and carrots.
If I leave the state, how will I find a WIC clinic?
Check USDA's WIC state agencies listing or contact us to obtain the telephone number of WIC programs in other states.
What is a WIC retailer?
A WIC retailer is a grocery store or pharmacy that has been approved by the WIC program to accept WIC food instruments for WIC-approved foods. Check our Grocery Stores page for additional information.
Why are certain foods on WIC and other foods are not on WIC?
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) determines the basic nutrient guidelines that the Missouri WIC program follows in food selection. All foods selected must meet those requirements. The Missouri WIC program also uses cost, availability, and other similar criteria to select foods. Foods selected are low in sugar and salt and are good sources of vitamins A, C, and D, iron, protein, and calcium.
How do I file a complaint about the WIC clinic in my area?
Contact the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
How can I get information on the Food Stamp Program?
If you are a WIC participant or WIC applicant, your local WIC program can tell you where to find the Family Services office where you can apply for Food Stamps in your community. Or you can call the state Food Stamps website or you can call the state Food Stamps office at 1-800-392-1261.
Will I have to pay to participate in WIC?
No, participants do not have to pay any money to participate in the WIC program.
Will WIC give me all of the food my baby and I need?
No, WIC will not provide all of the foods needed. WIC foods are intended to supplement the diet. The food packages approved for use in the Missouri WIC program are designed to help meet infants' developmental needs and current pediatric feeding recommendations, and to complement the eating patterns of preschool children. WIC foods also supplement the special requirements of pregnant and breastfeeding women and help to re-supply the nutrient stores women used during pregnancy.
Why will some stores take WIC checks for items that other stores will not?
WIC retailers must allow individuals to purchase all WIC-approved products prescribed on the WIC food instrument. However, available foods vary by retailer. If a retailer does not allow a WIC participant to purchase a WIC-approved food that is stocked in the store, contact us to report this to the WIC Program.
Can men receive WIC benefits?
Although adult men do not receive a food prescription for themselves from WIC, they receive many other benefits. The WIC program was developed to meet the needs of pregnant women, infants, and children in the critical growth years of fetal development and early childhood. WIC benefits, by design of the program, are provided only to pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding women, infants, and children under the age of five. A man with any of these participants in his family benefits from the support the nutritious foods and nutrition education offers his family. Men can and are encouraged to participate in nutrition education, family nutrition counseling, shopping for WIC products, referrals to health care, and other programs that may benefit their families. Find out more about Nutrition on this website.

As you can see, my postcard collection keeps growing... (which is about as big a joy as having warm feet on a winter's day ;-))
Recently I received my new nightswans and sleepy bear postcards, and I created a new set of six postcards that you can find here.
But of course you can also think big and use the special offer below, because as long as I haven't been able to take proper new pictures of the big postcard set of now fourteen postcards, you'll get the two new postcards for free when you order the original large set of twelve postcards from my shop. So that's fourteen postcards for the price of twelve!
Offer is valid as long as slow me hasn't taken proper new postcard set pictures yet! ;-)

Well-meant but ultimately of interest primarily to devout anglers, Richard Imamura and Cory Shiozaki's self-distributed documentary explores an unusual angle of the disgraceful mass roundup and internment of Japanese-Americans that followed the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The largest number were held at the Manzanar War Relocation Center in California's Owens River Valley outside the Sierra Nevada Mountains. According to this film, a substantial number of the internees were fishermen who realized this was an ideal spot for catching trout.
Barbed wire and armed guards at the camp's perimeter posed formidable obstacles, and survivors recall how they risked their lives for a taste of freedom outside. Later, with the help of some guards (an elderly one is heard from), sneaking out to nearby lakes for multiday trips was possible.
"The Manzanar Fishing Club'' has enough interesting footage for perhaps a 15-minute segment of a TV news magazine. Beyond that, my eyes started to glaze over with endless talk about rods, reels and bait.

Allen Lessels' UNH Notebook: Kaplan keeps on working
By ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
-- Matt Kaplan, who once again will be smack-dab in the middle of everything on Saturday for the University of New Hampshire football team, earned some high praise from the boss this week.
"Two names jump out at you when you start talking about the hardest workers in the program," said UNH head coach
Sean McDonnell.
Chris Setian
and Matt Kaplan. Both walked on to the program and earned their way to full scholarships."
Setian is a bruiser of a running back, a senior and one of the Wildcat captains.
Kaplan, a junior defensive tackle and champion high school wrestler out of Franklin, has started every game the last two years and shares the team lead for sacks with five with linebacker
Akil Anderson
"He's one of those kids who has worked his tail off for everything he's gotten in this program," McDonnell said. "He's a phenomenal kid in his work ethic and the energy he has for the game. If we had 90 kids like him, my job would be a lot easier."
McDonnell said he and his staff weren't quite sure what they were getting as they looked at Kaplan in the recruiting process. They liked him and brought him in as a recruited walk-on.
"But he didn't fit the profile," McDonnell said. "He was 5-10 when we recruited him and on the defensive line we're usually looking for guys who are 6-2, 6-3. We're often getting guys who are 215-220 and building them to 275-280 and he was 290. He was a strong kid, but he had to redefine his body a little."
Kaplan did and by the time he was a redshirt freshman he worked his way into a starting a couple of games and played in 11.
He's been a starter since, this year alongside senior
Sean Mc
in a defensive tackle rotation that also includes sophomores
Jullian Turner
Rashid Armand
Even Kaplan, who is listed at 6-foot-1 and 292 pounds but is probably not quite that tall, has been a little surprised by his success thus far.
"I've always been confident in myself," he said "But if you had told me when I came in that I would be a two-year starter by now, I probably would have laughed. It's nice to see the hard work pays off."
The challenge for Kaplan and the Wildcats this week is to take care of business against an Albany team that has struggled in its first year in the Colonial Athletic Association and will be emotionally charged for the game.
The Great Danes are 1-9 overall and 0-6 in the CAA and this is their last home game, their last chance to get a CAA win on their new
Bob Ford
Field for the program's longtime head coach. Ford is retiring after 41 years when this season ends.
In addition, Albany gave Maine all it could handle in a 33-27 loss at home last week and earlier lost a 33-30 game at Delaware.
UNH is ranked No. 23 in the country and at 5-4 overall and 4-2 in the CAA needs a win to set up a huge rivalry game at home against Maine next Saturday. The Wildcats must beat both Albany and Maine to have a shot at making the FCS tournament.

THE MEN'S hockey team got back on track with an impressive sweep of Massachusetts last weekend — 4-1 in Durham on Friday night and 9-0 in Amherst, Mass. on Saturday — and then tacked on a 4-2 win over Brown for good measure on Tuesday night at the Whittemore Center.
The Wildcats, 4-5-1 overall and 2-2-0 in Hockey East, will try to keep it going with a game at Northeastern tonight at 7. The teams meet again on Saturday night in Durham at 7.
Northeastern is 6-3-0 overall and 1-2-0 in the league. The Huskies beat UMass Lowell, 4-2, last Saturday and in their game before that lost in overtime to Boston College, 4-3.Freshman
Mike Szmatula
leads the Huskies with four goals and 11 assists for 15 points. Sophomore
Kevin Roy
is at 8-6-14.
The Wildcats are looking to pick up crucial points in the new-look Hockey East these next two weekends.
After they play two at Providence College next weekend, they will have completed 40 percent of their league schedule and will be done with four Hockey East teams for the regular season.

THE UNH FIELD HOCKEY TEAM plays at Duke on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
The Wildcats are 15-6 overall and won the America East tournament and an automatic berth in the NCAAs with last Saturday's 3-2 win over Albany. Duke is 14-6.
Hannah Richard
, a senior from Hopkinton, has scored 13 goals for UNH to rank second on the team. Richard and junior back
Maegan Grew,
of Hampton Falls, were among the Wildcats who made America East all-star teams. Both were named to the second team.

March 25, 2014, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan —Players are often evaluated at the beginning of their seasons, but what about a post season evaluation? Players looking to set a bench mark for future seasons can attend the My Pro Day Skills evaluation event to do just that. U.S. Baseball Academy and My Pro Day are teaming up to bring the excitement and fun of a pro baseball or college tryout experience to players age 6-18. Players of all ability levels can attend this camp to see how they compare to themselves, year over year, and other players their age. This one day skills evaluation event is a chance for players to test their skills in a fun, no pressure environment, while gaining valuable knowledge of the evaluation process. And for a limited time, a one-year My Pro Day membership — including a complete skills evaluation– is just $59, more than half off the national rate.
The My Pro Day membership starts with a major league style evaluation, where coaches will identify strengths and weaknesses, and players can see their skill-by-skill rankings in a nationwide player database. We'll test arm strength, fielding skills, pitching speed and accuracy, catcher pop times, hitting and bunting ability, speed, agility, athleticism and more. The scorecard and worldwide database will allow your league members to see how they measure up to players from all over the country. Players will also have the ability to build their own "baseball card" and network with players and coaches from leagues nationwide. Think "Linkedin for baseball".
My Pro Day will be arriving in Bloomfield Hills this summer. Andover High School is hosting this special event for youth baseball players Thursday, June 19th, 10am-2pm. For more details, benefits and registration for the upcoming My Pro Day event in your area, visit www.MyProDay.com.

Morality and War
Just and Unjust Wars: A Moral Argument with Historical Illustrations
There are two doctrines about war which often look like two sides of the same doctrine: absolute pacifism; and the doctrine represented in the American Civil War by General Sherman, that war is absolutely hellish and cannot be refined, and that therefore in the fighting of wars that are justly engaged in there are theoretically no limits beyond which the righteous side may not go. Absolute pacifists similarly argue that war is hellish and that to fight it in any way is the moral equivalent of fighting it in every way; killing a soldier is not in the end morally distinguishable from killing a civilian, bombing an arms factory (or trying hard to be accurate in doing so) is not really different from bombing a residential neighborhood. In for a penny, in for a pound, if stealing a lamb will get one hanged one may as well steal a flock of sheep: proverbial wisdom is used to suggest that if one abandons the position of absolute pacifism, distinguishing among different kinds of killing is a piece of moral imbecility.
This running together of the two doctrines may even have political force in some situations. The British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament of the 1950s, and the consequent pressure within the Labour Party to "ban the bomb" had a complicated background, and many considerations, moral and political, influenced its supporters and opponents. Supporters of the Campaign included absolute pacifists who were against bombs and weapons of every kind, as well as a few who didn't really object to the bomb but objected to its being under the control of a non-communist government. They also included a number of people who supported the theory of the just war and argued that in no conceivable circumstances, or at least in no circumstances at all likely to arise, could any war, even a war of defense, be fought justly with nuclear weapons. The late Hugh Gaitskell, who fought against the Campaign and in the end defeated it, drew most of his support, as one would expect, from "realists" who were not interested in legal and moral analysis; but a lot of support came from old pacifists who thought that the opponents of the bomb who were not pacifists were simply confused, so evident was it to them that war is hell and that therefore you either go in for it or you don't.
As Michael Walzer is able to show, in his powerful book Just and Unjust Wars, these are two strange doctrines. There really is and has been for some centuries now an agreement of mankind that war is, like any other human enterprise, subject to the judgments and restraints of morality and to the restraints of law. There is a mass of international conventions and agreements, and a body of precedents set out in the books of the international lawyers, all of which set limits to what may be done by the armed forces of powers at war. Not that such limits…

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A professional rodeo clown who co-founded an anti-bullying program that is used nationwide is hitting the road in Nevada to promote his cause.
Marvin Nash of Cheyenne, Wyo., on Friday began rolling his 130-pound rodeo barrel from Reno to Las Vegas in hopes of completing the 450-mile feat by the Oct. 4 start of an anti-bullying conference in Las Vegas.
Nash says he plans to take a combination of back roads and highways, and roll the barrel about 10 to 12 miles a day. His wife, Darlene, will drive a support vehicle and accompany him on the trek that will mostly be on U.S. 95.
The two educational consultants formed a program called Bullying Hurts, a mentoring program that helps schools, parents and students deal with bullying.

It's no secret that the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets are expected to select quarterbacks with the No. 1 and No. 3 picks in the 2018 NFL Draft. Both teams are lacking a franchise quarterback and are in position to select one of the best signal-callers in the class.
At No. 2, the New York Giants are a bit of a mystery. The team has Eli Manning at quarterback, but his play has fallen off in the last few seasons and he turned 37 in January. A quarterback could be in play, but New York has also shown plenty of interest in running back Saquon Barkley and defensive end Bradley Chubb.
If three quarterbacks go off the board in the first three picks, the Buffalo Bills may find it difficult to sit at pick 12 and hope for the remaining quarterback to fall. Although it would seem unlikely for a quarterback to fall to No. 12, it is possible. Teams holding picks 6-10 aren't in the quarterback market. Barring a trade up, the Denver Broncos (No. 5) and Miami Dolphins (No. 11) are the only two teams in front of the Bills that may be in quarterback market.
Rob Rang's most recent mock draft saw three quarterbacks go off the board in the first three picks. Instead of trading up, Rang had the Bills stay at No. 12. Their patience paid off with Baker Mayfield falling to the team.
Here is what Rang said about the Bills landing Mayfield.
The Bills' trade of starting left tackle Cordy Glenn to the Bengals is a thinly veiled plan to be in better position to take advantage of the talent in this year's quarterback class with another trade into the top five possible, if not likely. After working with Tyrod Taylor and Cam Newton, defensive-minded head coach Sean McDermott might be more comfortable than most with a dual-threat quarterback like Mayfield operating the offense. Despite signing AJ McCarron in the offseason, the Bills have shown plenty of interest in this year's top quarterbacks, including Mayfield, who was scheduled for a two-day visit April 9-10 at the team facility.
Buffalo found some protection for Mayfield at No. 22. With their second first round pick, Buffalo selected Georgia lineman Isaiah Wynn.
The Bills gained draft capital by trading away Cordy Glenn but do not currently appear to have the players on the roster to handle losing its best blocker. Like Glenn, Wynn stood out at left tackle at Georgia but has the build some feel is better suited for guard.
On Tuesday, April 3, Alex van der Zwaan became the first person to receive a court sentence in the course of the Mueller investigation. But the sentencing hearing was a strangely anticlimactic affair.
There were no major issues of dispute between the defense, headed by William Schwartz, and the special counsel's team, headed by Andrew Weissman. The stakes were comparatively low: van der Zwaan, who pleaded guilty to one count of 18 U.S.C. 1001 (making false statements to the FBI), faced a maximum sentence of only six months. Publicly available court documents in van der Zwaan's case do not show any cooperation agreement with the special counsel, and neither Schwartz nor Weissman made any reference to ongoing cooperation by van der Zwaan as a mitigating factor in his sentencing.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia sentenced van der Zwaan to 30 days in jail and a $20,000 fine—a relatively light sentence that, she argued, nevertheless reflected the gravity of his decision to lie and withhold evidence during a Nov. 2017 interview with Mueller's team. Especially as an attorney with a major international firm, Jackson said, van der Zwaan should have known better.
As far as we know, van der Zwaan's offense is confined to having lied to investigators regarding a handful of communications with Rick Gates and an unnamed Person A in Ukraine (reported in the press to have been Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnick), as well as a senior partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher Flom—confirmed during the hearing by Weissman to have been former White House Counsel Greg Craig. The lack of any mention of cooperation by van der Zwaan during the sentencing hearing suggests that his involvement in L'Affaire Russe might not go any deeper than that.
In other words, van der Zwaan's sentencing appears to be more of an odd tangent in the Russia investigation than a major puzzle piece. So if van der Zwaan is so unimportant, why would the special counsel's office bother prosecuting him? Perhaps it's a matter of principle: as we've seen in recent months, the FBI does not like it when people lie to them. Or perhaps it's an effort to send a message to others caught up in the Mueller investigation that impeding the work of the special counsel's office is serious enough to merit jail time, even when the offense in question is minor. Perhaps it's both.Fitness Rebates Clothing

Iredell County Sheriff Phillip Redmond and one of his deputies have settled two women's allegations they were sexually harassed by the former head of a police agency's domestic violence unit.
The Charlotte Observer reports that court records show Redmond and former sheriff's domestic violence investigator Ben Jenkins settled the suit in mediation.
The lawsuit claimed the sheriff's office failed to take appropriate action against Jenkins and never provided sexual harassment training for its officers until three years after one of the woman's 2009 complaints.
The suit sought more than $10,000 in damages for emotional distress. Neither Redmond nor Jenkins were available for comment Thursday.

Back in March I made my family cut our spring break vacation a few days short so I could make it to a rock show. Cause I'm that devoted. The show in question was Redd Kross and it was totally worth it.
They played all the hits, and some songs from their new album (which is awesome). In the between-song banter Jeff McDonald mentioned that they hadn't played in Philly in 15 years, and mid set he put away his oddball Guild and pulled out a no-name parts-guitar with a sparkly gold strat body. People respond to a sparkly guitar, that's something we know pretty well here and DiPinto. He definitely got a reaction from the crowd, and I'm guessing he did every night. And maybe that's what prompted him to say tell the audience that if they liked the guitar, they could soon buy their own, 'Check our facebook page', he said,' I'll be putting all the details of my new guitar company up soon.' I couldn't tell if he was joking or not. When I got home I did check their facebook page just to make sure.
It made me think of every conversation I'd ever had with someone who wants to have their own guitar company, it goes like this, someone asks; Do you think I should start my own guitar company? And to that I have two answers 1. No. 2. Are you sure you really want to?
It's totally unfair that I spend most of my days at work mired in banking and accounts payable. There is a lot of fun stuff that happens here, but a lot of boring business things that need to be taken care of. The lights need to stay on, that's always the first challenge. Then the second is coming up with the awesomest new guitar design, the third is getting that design made, marketed and in the hands of amazing players who can show it off. That can be the most daunting of all. I always used to think of advertising as the enemy (thank you punk-rock) but now I realize that if you don't get your message out, you don't exist. We can make the most amazing sparkly or chrome plated guitar in the world, but there's no point if we can't convince guitar players that this is the guitar for them.
Marketing is hard work and not always fun but we are finally getting the hang of it…keep an eye out for us in the future and you will see lots of great new additions to the DiPinto roster including Adam from THE WAR ON DRUGS, Ricky Byrd, Original guitarist for JOAN JETT, Nick Anderson IMPERIAL STATE ELECTIC, Nels Kline and lots more!!!

Well-liked administrator has held position since March 2000
The Rev. Joseph L. Levesque, C.M., announced Tuesday that he will resign from his position as president of Niagara University at the conclusion of the current academic year.
Levesque will remain at NU, however, as the university's board of trustees has voted to confer on him the title of president emeritus. In this role, Levesque will be empowered to continue to help Niagara in ways designated by the new president and in a manner familiar to Levesque, especially in the areas of institutional advancement and in relation to the Institute for Civic Engagement.
Watch highlights of Levesque's announcement:
"This truly is a bittersweet day for me," admitted Levesque, whose association with Niagara University commenced in 1970 as a lecturer of religious studies. "With the help, trust and guidance of so many, we have accomplished the numerous goals that I articulated during my inaugural address. We have been successful in establishing and stabilizing a 'new Niagara,' all while remaining faithful to our mission and the best interests of our students and the community that we call home.
"I have been a member of the Niagara University community for more than four decades now and, although I will no longer be president, I am very happy to be able to say that I will remain at NU for a long time to come, God willing."
Levesque became the 25th president of Niagara University in January 2000. His 13 years of service makes him the fourth longest-tenured president in the history of the Catholic and Vincentian institution, behind only the Rev. Patrick V. Kavanagh, C.M. (1878-94), the Rev. Robert E.V. Rice, C.M. (1863-78), and the Rev. Joseph M. Noonan, C.M. (1932-47).
Under Levesque's leadership, Niagara University has experienced a continuous process of transformation that has significantly developed the physical character of the university's campus and its 21st-century approach to teaching and learning.
Close to $100 million has been invested in new construction, renovation and improvement projects at Niagara University since the advent of Levesque's presidency. All of the initiatives undertaken are consistent with a comprehensive master plan that, at Levesque's direction, was created as the blueprint for the redevelopment of Niagara's 160-acre campus.
"Father Levesque has had a tremendous impact on the transformation of Niagara," stated Jeffrey Holzschuh, Class of 1982, chair of Niagara University's board of trustees. "He has set the bar very high for all of us, and we hope to continue to make him proud of the work we do, and of the university he calls home."
Niagara University recently completed an $80 million capital campaign - "The Promise of Niagara...The next 150 years" - the largest fundraising initiative in its history.
The cornerstone of the campaign, the state-of-the-art B. Thomas Golisano Center for Integrated Sciences, is on track to open this fall, as is the Gacioch Family Alumni and Admissions Center, formerly Meade Hall.
In August 2007, construction was completed on the 56,000-square-foot Academic Complex and adjoining Bisgrove Hall, which now house Niagara's accredited colleges of Education and Business Administration. Since then, the university has also completely renovated its theater complex and built a complementary lobby and reception area; revamped student food services and furnishings in the Gallagher Center (student union) and Clet Hall; upgraded campus-wide technology capabilities; and constructed a new residence for its Vincentian community.
In addition, the campaign raised in excess of $9 million toward scholarships and financial assistance for graduate and undergraduate students. This funding includes money to increase existing scholarships and fund new endowed scholarships for future students.
Reinforcing Levesque's, and the university's, commitment to community service was the September 2011 unveiling of Niagara's Institute for Civic Engagement. An initiative developed through the President's Office, the institute was designed to strengthen existing community partnerships and form new town-gown relationships.
"Anyone who speaks of Niagara University speaks of Father Levesque," added the Very Rev. Michael Carroll, C.M., provincial of the Eastern Province of the Congregation of the Mission, 1973 Niagara University graduate and vice chair of its board of trustees. "That is partly because of the impact he has made on the university, but also because his influence reaches well beyond our wonderful campus.
"It is my great honor to say, 'thank you.' Thank you, Father Levesque, for your service to the Vincentian community. You have made us all very proud. Thank you for your service to Western New York. Your impact in this community is immeasurable. And, lastly, thank you for your service and leadership at Niagara University."
A native of North Tarrytown, Levesque was ordained as a Vincentian priest in 1967 after studies at Mary Immaculate Seminary in Northampton, Pa. He taught religious studies at St. John's Preparatory School in Brooklyn and at St. Joseph's Seminary in Princeton, N.J., before being assigned to Niagara's religious studies department in 1970. Levesque left his teaching duties at Niagara University to pursue his studies in theology at The Catholic University of America, where he received his doctoral degree.
In 1978, Levesque resumed teaching at Niagara, and was also named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and director of the college's graduate division. He remained in the post until 1986, when he returned to seminary work, serving as president of St. Joseph's Seminary.
Levesque was elected provincial superior of the Eastern Province of the Congregation of the Mission in 1990. He stepped down from the position in June of 1999 after the maximum nine-year term and subsequently assumed the presidency of Niagara University.
Levesque served as chair of the boards of St. John's University and Niagara University during his term as provincial. He was concurrently active in the Conference of Major Superiors of Men, a leadership organization that serves all male religious in the U.S. Levesque served as president from 1995-97, gaining a national presence through his work with the Catholic bishops and with church authorities in Rome. He was the conference's liaison to the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy from 1991-94.
Levesque holds honorary degrees from Niagara and St. John's universities, two of the three Vincentian institutions of higher education in the U.S. (DePaul University is the other). He also holds an honorary doctorate from Christ the King Seminary, an interdiocesan seminary in East Aurora, where he has served as a board member for several years.
Presidential Transition Process
The Niagara University board of trustees has established a committee for presidential transition. This committee will work very closely with Carroll in identifying the 26th president of Niagara University. The university's administrative council, and a small group of individuals from the campus community, comprised of faculty and staff, will be involved in this process as well.
It is the goal of the board of trustees to identify a successful candidate over the next couple of months, and to name the next president as early as mid- March. The new president will then begin working on campus this summer.

And rightly so, Litmus announced this month that mobile opens reached a record high of 47%! They are also predicting that mobile opens will reach over 50% by the end of the year.
One trend that I've also recently started to notice and something I can see becoming much more popular in the near future is tablet optimization. This is achieved with media queries that specifically target the screen sizes of tablet devices or larger smartphones.
The Expedia and Playstation emails below are particularly good examples of how this should be done.
We're also starting to see marketers use media queries to display mobile specific content. One example of this is showing an Apple app store / Google Play icon when you view the email on a smartphone. I expect to see more and more brands use this technique in a wide variety of ways in the near future.
So here are 10 of the best responsive email designs that I've seen in the last month.
Expedia Cruise Ships
Expedia has cleverly inserted this app store banner to the top of its email when viewed on a smartphone.
Although it can't target Apple or Android users specifically with this technique, I still think it's very effective as most subscribers will be using Apple or Android phones anyway.
Harvey Norman
Joy the store
Map My Run
Mr Porter
Maybe this is to do with the release of the Playstation 4 but this email has four different variations of its header!

Really nice examples of responsive emails. So modern now. Thanks for sharing.
The underlying problem, not spoken of here, is the fact that the Gmail app for android does not support media queries. This is a huge problem as more than half of US smart phone sales are Android devices.
Bottom line: Why media queries can make a slick email for anyone who opens it on an iphone, a single column simpler-the-better liquid email is a lot more practical, unless your target audience consists of middle class Americans.
No hate on the article. Can't wait till we can give email experiences like this to a wider audience.
@Nate, that's a good point you raise. My advice is to track the subscribers for on your database, find out what devices they are using and then optimize with those devices in mind. If everyone on your list is using the Gmail app for Android then @media queries aren't going to be effective.
The data that I've seen hasn't shown the Gmail app for Android or iPhone to be hugely popular though. Litmus post handy Email Client Market Share results each month here - http://emailclientmarketshare.com/. You can see that last month Android was the 4th most popular client/device - I think that refers to the native email client (which does support @media queries) and not the Gmail app.
In any case, I love what responsive design allows you do and hope that Gmail can get their act together and support it soon!
Nice to see everything on iOS but how do they render on Android, and mobile stock email platforms. Design is one part but coding is the other.
"The underlying problem, not spoken of here, is the fact that the Gmail app for android does not support media queries. "
it's getting better, and there's ways around this, but it's not quite as slick as iphone et al. Remember that this is just Gmail users - which granted could be a sizeable amount, but there's still a lot of non-Gmail users. The larger screens on the popular Android devices helps mitigate this also.
tend to agree with Andrew's point here - we're not seeing it as massively popular (btw the Litmus stat is a combination of both apps)
Our design approach is to design an email that broadly works for mobile anyway, then use responsive design as an extra layer of enhancement where it's supported. (Not sure if you can add links, but we've put more on emaildesignreview, google "Rethinking Mobile Email Design")
The good thing about responsive templates is that it forces you to think about structure and readability. By looking at the design in a 'mobile first' way you tend to get cleaner, simpler and more user-friendly result .
Way too many companies still use emails made purely of images or give zero consideration for different devices other than their desktop version of outlook.
Support for media queries in mobile email clients is still far too hit and miss - Gmail's lack of support is likely down to the fact they don't support embedded CSS in their web client either - and there are tons of other factors that get in the way such as server exchanges stripping out code, but I still think it should be the standard.
the thing we have to deal with as an industry is that we need to get away from the "must look the same everywhere" mentality. In email that's most dangerous, as there's so much difference between rendering across platforms already.
Nice collection Andrew.
Have you any metrics from split test of those designs to show value in sending responsive to mobile vs. non-responsive?
@Tim Neither of those email designs appear to be responsive. Also, to prevent windows 8 mail messing up, you need to add and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1) to your media query - this isn't something you'll be able to see in Litmus as they don't have Windows 8 mail in their testing repertoire yet.
Also you have a heck of a lot of css in there, would suggest you don't need to make it that complex though as I can't see you mobile version I can't really tell.
And finally, hidden commentary can go against you and be considered spam.
Clearly they are responsive, they work excellent, just not fluid in browser. Windows 8 works fine too when tested in real client.
Yes I need to tidy the code up. I suggest you test the email to see how the CSS works.
We send out 10,000s a day and these have proved highly successful so far. Happy Days a lot of the example emails by the big companies are massive in size compared to what I have built, very suprising. Thanks for your compliments
Nice collection. Thanks a lot for sharing. Most of the Mobile clients support media queries , and there are a lot of users using email clients other than gmail when it comes to mobile. There are many options , from Outlook Mobile App to MailBox to K-9. Responsive Email is a winner!
I just wanted to let you know the site that's hosting the email image examples, elabs5.com, has been flagged for spam content (I'm not able to view them at my work). This is disappointing as I think this post would be very helpful for me.
@SRM I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue, sorry about that. You can see all of these responsive designs and more on my Pinterest board - http://www.pinterest.com/akingkiwi84/responsive-email-design/
Wow. I /really/ want one of those extra-long iphones -- where do I get one?

Dear Amy: I'm 18 years old and months away from graduating from high school. I can't wait to venture into college and see new places. The only downside is that my girlfriend of 15 months is pregnant. It was a big shock. It feels as if everything I was planning is thrown away and I will never be able to experience the college life and get a good job.
Don't get me wrong, I do look forward to seeing my little one, but I just don't have the smallest idea how to start planning for the arrival. To top it off, I'm also having trouble telling my parents. I don't know how they will take it. Please help me find the best way to tell them.

Why hasn't DC gotten him more work?
by IvCNuB4 » Wed Sep 25, 2013 5:11 pmAnyone pick this up ? Curious if the Sinestro origin was changed or fleshed out any.
by Punchy » Thu Sep 26, 2013 9:53 amThe Green Lantern Villain's Month books save the best GL villain for last, as Matt Kindt and Dale Eaglesham give us a very nice potted history of everyone's favourite pink space Hitler. I know I rag on Geoff Johns being in love with all of his villains, but I actually don't mind it when it comes to Sinestro, Johns did an excellent job of making the character more than just a villain, and in my eyes, made him kind of the Magneto of the DC Universe. He's a complex guy, so it was good to see his back-story explored, and also get a few interesting hints towards his future.
This issue was narrated by Lyssa Drak, the Sinestro Corps member who was tied to that book. Now, she's disconnected from it, and is going a little crazy, so she needs to try and remember all she can about her former boss. It was an effective technique to have this issue be narrated by Drak, as she is firmly on Sinestro's side, and it allowed for an interesting contrast between what she was saying about his actions, and what actually happened.
Drak tells us about pretty much Sinestro's entire life, we see him as a Korugarian Archaeologist, who gets caught up in a battle between a Green Lantern and a Weaponer of Qward. The GL, who is gravely injured, gives Sinestro the ring to help defeat the Weaponer, and he does. I loved the little touch here where Sinestro had the opportunity to give the ring back and heal the other Lantern, but instead, he just flew away, leaving him to die. I think that's a new wrinkle to the origin, and I dug it. We then see Sinestro joining up with the other Green Lanterns, and how he becomes best friends with Abin Sur and falls in love with Abin's sister. Sinestro and Arin Sur move back to Korugar, and that's when things start to go wrong, as Sinestro stretches the way he uses his ring, and his fascistic rule of Korugar begins. Arin Sur is scared by these changes, and puts their daughter (Soranik Natu) into adoptive care. But Sinestro just carries on ruling with a big green fist, convinced, just like our narrator, that what he is doing is right.
Then of course, Abin Sur dies, and Sinestro befriends his successor, Hal Jordan, and we get the now familiar story of how Hal saw how wrong Sinestro's actions were, and ended up getting him kicked out of the GLs and into the Anti-Matter Universe. Once again, it was cool how Lyssa Drak viewed Hal Jordan as the bad guy here, but then again, when she labels him the 'greatest traitor', she's actually right!
Kindt then rushes us through the last few years of Sinestro stuff, the Corps, becoming a Lantern again, Korugar being destroyed by Volthoom, and then finally, him killing The Guardians. So, we're all caught up, so what next for Sinestro? Well, it turns out that not all of the Korugarians are dead, and they may need his help. I wonder where this story will be picked up? I think Venditti and co have made a wise choice in keeping the character off the board, but there have been a few rumblings about a Sinestro ongoing series, which, if written by Kindt, I may actually be interested in.
The art here comes from Dale Eaglesham, and it was great, I love his style, and I love the detail he puts in, the flashback sequences here are framed in a very interesting way, with ornate detailing around the panels, it looked great, and unique. I'd certainly like to see him do more work in the GL universe.
by Draco x » Thu Sep 26, 2013 3:04 pmSo it's very clear Sinestro was always a a douchebag from the get-go as opposed to the semi-sympathetic figure Johns was hellbent on making him.

Immigrant Nations
Since I live in Arizona, I could make a huge number of comments on the currently popular immigration problem in the United States, but in doing so, I would have to point out that the problem started with the second boat load of English immigrants to the Plymouth Colony. Whenever and from where ever the first inhabitants arrived, the next arrivals were a problem. For example, Mexican citizens some of whose ancestors have lived in America since prehistory are an "immigration problem" when they cross an artificially created political boundary. But of course, I want to stay away from anything so politically charged in a blog about genealogy. After all since we are genealogists we can ignore all the immigration issues, can't we?
We define an immigrant as anyone who moves across certain politically defined boundaries either with or without the permission of the dominant government of the time. Depending on your racial or political leanings, this process is either the strength of the nation or its downfall. For that reason, genealogical research can be extremely unsettling and in some cases, disturbing to a family. Your family is either interested and proud to find out they had slave or transported ancestors (criminals) or they are appalled and hostile. One interesting question is whether English settlers in North America before the creation of Canada and the United States were immigrants?
If you live in a country like England, China or Russia, you don't have to worry about where your people came from or if they were immigrants. Do you? Of course you do. Unless all of your ancestors lived in the same place going back into prehistoric times and never intermarried with any other ethnic group, you have to worry about where they came from and how they got where they are today.
As a result of these inevitable facts of origin, every genealogist will confront two situations (or both); researchers will either have to deal with an immigrant ancestor or run out of records going back into the dim past of pre-genealogical records. In the United States, if you have Native American ancestors, commonly called Indians, (whichever you feel is politically correct) you will likely run out of written records sometime in the 1800s if not sooner. Even if you have no indigenous ancestry (whatever that means) in the North America you will ultimately be dealing with an immigrant no earlier than about 1600, unless your ancestors came from Spain, in which case you might get another 100 years or so.
In all this, immigration ought to be a hot topic among genealogists. But we don't want to scare away the beginners, so we certainly don't want them to find out how difficult it can be to trace people who came to a country from somewhere else and especially when they find out their ancestors came from someplace that didn't speak their current language. That could be terminally discouraging.
My point here is that every genealogist should have a working knowledge of the immigration issues in his or her own country. When did people arrive and where did the come from? Why did the immigrants leave their place of origin and how did they travel to the new country? How were they received by the established inhabitants? Who hated who and who killed who?
One thing that I commonly find is that researchers want to know about the identity and origin of the immigrant but don't care to know about immigration. When I suggest to some researchers that they might want to answer the above questions generally before trying to find their individual immigrant ancestor, they space out and act as though I have asked them to go dig weeds or some other unpleasant task.
Fortunately, in most countries there are an adequate selection of good books on immigration and in most cases, reference works on specific ethnic immigration. As I usually do, I suggest studying the reasons and the background of genealogical problems, not just to solve the "brick walls" but to become aware of the huge number of sources for finding out about the immigrants. You might want to focus a little more on history and then look for your ancestor. If you want a good place to start, try searching for the term "immigration" in the FamilySearch Research Wiki. You will find articles about immigration to and from many countries of the world.

Interesting article! I share your opinion that Genealogy is an "interdisciplinarian science", not consider by many. By the way I have an question. Your family name is Tanner! I assume you belief you are of English decent. What would you say having the information that in Great Britain living atound 50 families ( most of them living in London or Wales) named Tanner, in Germany 459 and if you spell it Danner 1645. The US Census of 2000 shows 46412 persons. We know that early US records are very uncertain. So my simple question is: How many Tanner's are of German descent??ReplyDeleteReplies
I am aware of at least 5 or 6 unrelated Tanner families in the United States. Our family is traced back to the original immigrant, William Tanner, to Rhode Island around 1680 and he came from England, but his parents have not been positively identified. I am also aware of line of Tanners from Switzerland. So there is really know way I have of knowing right now where the family ultimately originated.Delete

Hi James.ReplyDelete
I've recently been doing a little checking on behalf of a friend whose mother was an Indigenous person of the Vancouver BC Canada area. In the 19th century, the people concerned had an approx. 90% death-rate due to epidemic diseases brought there by European settlers, with a further major contributing factor deprivation of way-of-life (notably the salmon fishery). I was able to trace some of my friend's ancestors to births in the 1840s-'60s, about the time family names were adopted.
BTW, I know very highly educated Native people who maintain their ancestors were in this hemisphere since forever - and who's to prove they are wrong?
S. Campbell,
Well forever is a long time. If you accept either the land bridge theory of arrival in the Americas or accept some cross oceanic influence, either way, ultimately everyone was an immigrant.Delete

TOKYO, JAPAN and CAMBRIDGE, UK - July 7, 2004 - Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. the world's second largest printing company, and ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)], today announced that Toppan has developed an IC card with high-speed cryptographic processing capabilities using ARM® SecurCore™ microprocessors. Toppan's IC card is ideal for SIM cards for mobile phones, and fits with government and corporate ID cards where supporting biometric authentication is essential.
The Toppan IC card takes full advantage of the 32-bit RISC ARM SecurCore processing power for number crunching operations such as encryption or biometrics match-on-card algorithms. The SecurCore processors include tamper-resistant technology to help prevent against unauthorized intrusion and physical tampering at the hardware and software levels.
"Toppan is using ARM's market-leading technology to offer a fast and secure IC card to the high-end security market," said Tomo Togawa, General Manager, IC Business Division of IC R&D Dept., at Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. "We believe our card offers all the features that customers-whether they are governments or corporations-require to protect their highly valued assets."
While most IC cards to date have used 8- and 16-bit microcomputer solutions, demand is increasing for cards that efficiently support more complex transactions with greater security to protect an ever increasing amount of data. This is making 32-bit IC cards that can encrypt, create signatures, perform biometrics algorithms, and support the Java Card platform -- quickly and securely with minimal power consumption -- essential.
"Toppan's IC Card, which is the first smart card developed in Japan that integrates SecurCore technology, is an excellent example of how ARM is expanding its presence in the rapidly growing smart card market," said Hiroyuki Uchimura, managing director, ARM K.K. "ARM is committed to developing secure processing solutions, from our TrustZone technology to our SecurCore microprocessors, which enable our Partners to address a full range of security issues for their applications."
